Understanding the size of patient that you typically treat is essential for selecting the most appropriate imaging solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many practices use CR systems due to their flexibility, using size 2 and size 4 plates to accommodate a range of animal sizes. However, CR imaging takes around a minute per screen to process, and there\u2019s the added risk of screens being accidentally discarded with surgical waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, DR systems allow you to image using a single sensor. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/en\/academy\/webinar-how-dr-works\/\">DR imaging<\/a> is faster (processing in seconds), has a lower long-term cost of ownership, and supports more efficient workflows. The trade-off, DR sensors may be more challenging to use in cases involving unusual tooth or animal sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, is it better to optimise for the 80% of routine cases, saving time and improving efficiency, while managing the 20% as exceptions? DR systems also allow for small incremental movements during positioning, resulting in fewer exposures and quicker adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patch-and-Purr-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"X-ray images\" class=\"wp-image-79912\" style=\"border-radius:30px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patch-and-Purr-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patch-and-Purr-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patch-and-Purr-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patch-and-Purr-2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patch-and-Purr-2-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patch-and-Purr-2-376x250.jpg 376w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patch-and-Purr-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Considerations When Choosing Between CR and DR for Dental X-rays<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>DR Systems:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fast image acquisition (seconds)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incremental movement of the plate reduces retakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower risk of exposure errors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cable connection to sensor: while cables can be damaged, it\u2019s usually due to human handling, not animal interference, especially as dentals are performed under anaesthesia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"939\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image015.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80135\" style=\"border-radius:30px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image015.png 939w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image015-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image015-768x533.png 768w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image015-360x250.png 360w, https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image015-600x417.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CR Systems:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Greater flexibility with multiple screen sizes (e.g., size 2 and 4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better for capturing hard-to-reach or complex anatomy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Screens require careful handling to avoid being lost or damaged<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longer image processing time (approx. 1 minute per screen)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retakes require full plate removal and re-positioning, relying heavily on user skill<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, choosing the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imv-imaging.com\/en\/products\/?search=dental&amp;product_cat=veterinary-x-ray\">dental imaging system<\/a> should go beyond gut feeling or familiarity.
